not sure running that market is the best best for ROH. not alot of local suport there.

I'm not sure they have support anywhere these days.

Anyway, they arent trying to draw locals, they're trying to give the people who fly in something to do before the big show on Sunday night.

Interesting to see if DGUSA runs head to head. They really only have Friday night, Saturday early before HOF, ans Sunday early before WM to squeeze in 3 shows between them (i'm assuming DGUSA is only running one show). Gotta figure they end up h2h.

I guess my prediction of Kofi winning MITB last year was a year too early. Dude is going to be a star if the feud with Orton is done right, and if (big if) Orton will put him over.

Per Jeremy Borash's Twitter, Hulk Hogan is now a member of TNA.

It's on their site now too...

so just when they were STARTING to push out some of the older guys and push the younger talent they sign Hulk Hogan.

And to think I was about to actually start watching it again.

You forgot to mention the best (worst) part:

In another piece of breaking news, former WCW Vice President Eric Bischoff is reportedly joining the company alongside Hogan.

Ed Leslie won't be far behind.

[BazookaJoe5]

LOL, I didn't even see that.

Nash, Hogan, Steiner, Bischoff, oh god. Sting might not have been planning to retire before this news, I bet he is now, LOL.

I totally understand why they did it - Hogan is still a huge name and obviously is going to get them some pub, but seriously, this is not good for them as a company.

Give it a month or two and AJ will be jobbing to Hogan, 60 year old Hogan will be the TNA Champion.

I forgot Russo too.

So five guys who were all at least partially responsible for the demise of WCW, are now on the TNA payroll. How can Dixie Carter honestly think this is a good idea?

[FedEx227]

It's a solid short terms rating boost but there is nothing good for the future in this move.

[Derrville]

Awesome! Hogan In TNA!

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

LMFAO.

How can I ever take TNA seriously?

They will always be the worst.

A lot of the grunt work on these shows falls on local indys, FIP in Florida, Us and Booker in Houston. Ect Ect. there's not alot in Arizona.

She doesn't know any better.

Russo, Nash, Hogan, Bischoff...lol...c'mon now...who thought this was a good idea?

[Warner2BruceTD]

Meltzer is teasing more big names have been signed (Wrestling Observer comes out tommorow, he's holding back on the names to squeeze some subscriptions out of people, even though the interwebz will post the info within seconds of the newletter being posted)

Smells like Mr Kennedy...or Mr Anderson, or maybe he'll be Nigel's cousin, Mr. Wolfe. Wolfe.

[FedEx227]

what are the chances we get a Ric Flair type in there too?

TNA has beed chasing Flair since he "retired", but he wont go because he dosent want to piss off Vince.

I wouldnt be shocked if he was one of the other "big names" rumored. He's got some ridiculous debt, and he just got engaged (he never learns).
